Based on this rare good mood, this night, Zuo Ci and Sal continued to drink until halfway through the hour.
Returning to the guest room on the second floor, Zuo Ci walked to the window intuitively, and at a glance he saw a man in black robe and black face standing in the old position of a dead tree on the mountainside. His face was still facing this way, just like yesterday Face yourself like that at night.
But just like last night, Zuo Ci didn't feel scared, but he didn't have the desire to stare blankly at the man in black to pass the time, so he glanced at him hastily, walked to the bed, and fell asleep.
-
The next day was another sunny day, Zuo Ci opened the door of the room and ran into Sal who was about to go downstairs for dinner. The two nodded slightly as a greeting, and walked down the stairs one after the other.
Just about to go to a table to sit down and order breakfast, there was a sound of clanging and orderly footsteps outside the door of the hotel, Zuo Ci and Sal naturally turned their heads to the direction of the door—
All I saw was a tall woman of an alien race appearing at the door.
She has thick long purple hair, two conspicuous light brown pointed ears on top of her head, a long hairy tail of the same color swinging between her legs, her clothes are extremely revealing, the short boots on her feet are more fabric than her entire upper body, she is hot With one-legged stockings attached to her pants, she looks extremely sexy - if one chooses to ignore the giant weapon on her back and hands - she has a multi-barreled laser cannon on her back and a With a long spear of similar length to her tall figure, it is obvious that she is a high-ranking spear at a glance, so it is inconvenient to provoke her.
"Lotte, you're here." Sal's face was a little stiff, and he greeted her with a slightly stiff tone.
The gunner called Lotte held the spear in his hand on his right shoulder, turned one corner of his mouth, and said in a slightly arrogant mature tone: "Hmph... It wasn't Marcus who asked me to come and see, you thought Would I want to come to this kind of backcountry? But it’s just unlucky, I happened to be in the middle of the steel fortress, and I was caught by the president’s perception, so I’ll come and have a look." She said, and she opened her long legs Walking into the hotel lobby, "I have hired a mercenary team of 50 people from the Iron Fortress mercenary group to pick you up according to the above. Let's go together. If something goes wrong on this trip, it is estimated that the master will have to transfer troops from Furnace Castle in a hurry."
"When we have breakfast..."
Before Saar finished speaking, Lotte interrupted with a smile on her face and said softly but firmly: "Dinner? I rushed over overnight to support you. Are you really going to let me stay here waiting for you to eat after I haven't slept all night? —” As she spoke, she fiddled with the magazine on the long gun and made a rattling sound.
The anger and threats inside and outside of these words immediately subdued Sal, he waved his hands quickly, and promised: "Okay, okay, I won't eat this breakfast, let's go." After speaking, he turned his face away again Go ask Zuo Ci, "Would you like to come with us too? To be honest, the vicinity of this mine is really not peaceful. In your current state, it is recommended to go to a big city like Steel Fortress or Furnace Castle to get back. Register in the city to avoid trouble in the future. Lotte is one of the few high-level characters in our guild who have successfully transferred to a full level, and she will be much safer with her."
Zuo Ci wanted to refuse, but Lotte said first, "Hurry up and follow me. When I arrive at the Steel Fortress, I'll buy some materials and make two spiral aircraft for each of you. You need a full level of engineering to make them." It’s a baby. In the future, if you encounter danger, you can run away with a little speed. That thing is more effective than a land-walking ostrich in many cases. I do this kindness to save us from high-level characters every time there is an accident. I'm so tired..."
Lotte's proposal was full of temptation. The items she promised were rare. For the convenience of future adventures, Zuo Ci still chose to follow this route.
So, after breakfast, Zuo Ci and Sal followed Lotte's footsteps and walked out of the hotel gate. Outside, there were dozens of dull-looking characters with the same facial features and appearance, only half of them were holding machine guns, and half of them were holding guns. Carrying an electric hammer.
"Are mercenaries robots?" Zuo Ci stepped on his ostrich, and couldn't help asking Thrall beside him.
"That's right, the mercenary corps of Steel Fortress are indeed robots, and they only open mercenary services to the royal family or high-level allied characters. Lotte is a high-level character who has changed her job to become a picket envoy of the Observatory Department. It is considered a high-level allied force, so there is such Authority. However, even so, the price of this employment is extremely expensive... This time Lotte is bleeding a lot for our sake..." Thrall replied softly, as if he was afraid of being heard by Lotte.
As soon as the words fell, Lotte, who was riding on a huge green lizard creature, started walking first, while the mercenary army turned around and trotted to follow. The scene was inexplicably interesting. But it was too late to recollect, the journey started again, Zuo Ci and Saar steered their mounts to catch up with Lotte's footsteps, walked side by side with her, and began to advance towards the steel fortress.
-
After exiting the downward slope of the mine, walk along the main road to the first volcanic peak of the Xueyuan Volcanic Group. When the surrounding steam and smoke are everywhere, the human body seems to have entered a huge sauna room, that is, it has entered Xianyan Mountain Road area.
According to "Guide" Thrall, as long as the mount is allowed to move forward, it will find a way out. Because the only feasible passages in this area are hard ground, while the non-advanceable areas are not only soft in structure but also hot and smoky, and the smoke that obscures people's sight is emitted from these hot air. And all kinds of mounts are sensitive to geothermal temperature perception, and will automatically avoid unfeasible roads and find a suitable exit.
[So it can be seen that characters without mounts are stuck in this area. It should be a setting of not entering at level 20. It seems that the monsters here must have some strength. ] Zuo Ci thought so, and unconsciously raised his vigilance.
When the spirit is highly concentrated, the feeling of being watched becomes particularly clear. Zuo Ci slightly turned his face to the side and looked towards the sky obliquely above. That was the direction of sight he felt. A world of smog and blur, nothing to see.
About an hour and a half later, the group of people walked out of Xianyan Mountain Road without any danger. When the surrounding scenery became clear, the inner layer of red stone and the mottled gray and white stone spots on the road ahead were exposed. Lotte in front turned her face sideways, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked Thrall, "Where is the blood crow you are talking about?"
"Strange?... Could it be that they have already withdrawn? They really killed the team twice before, but besides me, there was another team that insisted on going this way to the Iron Fortress yesterday. I don't think they turned back to the mine last night. The hotel, presumably, has successfully passed the obstruction and reached the destination. So... the most plausible reason for this situation is that the blood crow has already evacuated... "
Before Thrall finished his words, he felt Lotte's cold gaze. She sighed lightly, and was about to say something when she froze for a second.
Because there was a ringing of the bell directing the mount to go on the road, although it was only a few times, the three of them could clearly hear it. They slowed down unconsciously, waiting for the person ahead to show up.
After a while, a team of four all the way appeared in sight.
Seeing Zuo Ci and his party appearing with a large group of mercenaries, the visitors were obviously even more panicked. They gradually stopped, and the two who walked in front whispered a few words to each other. After Lotte, Sal, and Zuo Ci got closer, finally, one of them suddenly yelled: "Lion's Guild!"—then turned around and violently rang the bell on the horse's neck , ran wildly.
"Chasing!" Lotte didn't talk nonsense, and slapped the right side of her green lizard mount's head hard, and started the hunting mode with one word, and ran wildly.
Although a little unclear, Zuo Ci still followed the rhythm and instructed the ostrich to run forward as soon as possible. It's a pity that his mount is not at the same level as Thrall's, and the speed of the woman's lizard is several times faster than he knows. After a while, I saw Lotte rushing to the side of the target characters.
Zuo Ci continued to move forward for a while, the sound of fighting became more and more clear, but in the blink of an eye, there was only one warrior left alive to fight with Lotte, and another character wearing a robe was running wildly into the distance , the other two were already lying dead on the side of the road...
"Rage of Berserk!—"
Lotte pulled out the laser cannon on her back and fired at the warrior, smashing half of his body into pieces. Then she switched to a spear in her hand, and used another trick against the fleeing French character. —“Ghost flash sniper!!!”—
A headshot ended the life of the last person, Lotte finally put away the weapon in her hand with satisfaction, and Sal and Zuo Ci finally rushed to her side one after another.
"Who are these people?" Zuo Ci looked at the corpses that were gradually disappearing, and couldn't help asking.
"A member of the Green Wolf Guild, right? I saw the logo of the Green Wolf Guild on the back of one of them." Lotte replied.
"Can you see the tattoos on the backs of their hands from such a distance?" Zuo Ci was a little surprised.
"Of course I saw it after catching up." Lotte snorted mockingly, "The one who ran away when he saw us was probably an opposing force. Whoever he is, let's kill him first."
After the conversation ended, several people started to move forward steadily again. Saar saw that Zuo Ci was expressionless all the way, and he didn't say a word. Although he was like this earlier, he still felt a little different emotion, so he quietly slowed down the pace of his mount, walked beside him, and whispered: "Little thief, you have to get used to the rules of survival in this world—either you die or I die. The one who strikes first is always right. Lotte is a master honed from hundreds of battles. There is no need to question her approach." There are too many, but I have to learn more from her."
